A melancholic wilderness drama that uses a dangerous trek to excavate grief, fractured friendships, and the struggle to move beyond the past.

On a trek to find the world's rarest tree, Dylan and his friends descend into harsh ravines and canyons. As the wilderness closes in on them they come face to face with hard truths about friendship, unrequited love, and the consequences of letting go of the past.
